I'll repeat: Where is Congress on this issue? Where are the hearings? School shootings/mass murder that's become epidemic is surely as important as any other hearings they could hold.

Oh, and by the way, Redress, in case you've forgotten, Congress is made up of, wait!for!it!, Dems and Reps. Partisan my lily white ass.

So you still have yet to comment on the story, and still continue to use the tragedy to score political points. Here, I will give you a comment, and show you what should be done at this point:

This situation is a tragedy, my hearts go out to the family and friends of those affected.

Might also wait and see if a jilted lover/failed student/ just plain loony tune did this senseless attack. Just what about this violence makes it an issue for Congress?

What about Trayvon made it an issue? People die every day. Hundreds of them. How are those routinely ignored? Plenty of the bodies of people who died last week are plenty cold. Where are the hearings on them?

But it works... and it works very well. That's another lesson from our White House.

These shootings should be taken as a norm in a society with gun culture. I am not saying that owning a gun is bad.

Tell yourself what you want to but those hearings were about Trayvon Martin and giving into the mob that has been pushing it.

This school is very small. "The nonprofit Christian school -- where at least five people were shot to death Monday -- was founded in 2004 and is affiliated with the Praise God Korean Church in Oakland and Shepherd University of San Francisco. Oikos' website listed more than four dozen faculty members in music, religion, Asian medicine and nursing. The university was licensed by the state's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education, which regulates for-profit and vocational schools, on May 13, 2011, said bureau spokesman Russ Heimerich. The school also is accredited by the state Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technician"

I am curious as to the relationship between the shooter and the school.

Too late. I had respect for you -- and for our differences. But your attack on me personally for posting breaking news and asking why Congress isn't holding hearings just shows the disrespect you have for me. I am so surprised. Thank you and good bye.

I'm wondering what the connection is, too. The shooter went to that school to kill for a reason, warped though it is.
I hate commenting on just breaking news because so much about it is still unknown.

My prayers and sympathies for the families.

who gave a gun to that guy?

Unfortunately, and unbelievably, it was a legitimate question.

Obama is like Joffrey in Game of Thrones. You never know what he's going to do next because he's just a dumb, inexperienced child.
